"Venezuela: Raid on Jewish Center Condemned"
Jewish leaders here and abroad condemned a police raid over the weekend at a Jewish community center in Caracas. The raid by about two dozen armed security agents, ostensibly a search for weapons, was carried out at about 1 a.m. on Sunday, just hours before the referendum that day on proposed constitutional changes backed by President Hugo Chavez. It failed to uncover any weapons (New York Times)."
